Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a large pot or Dutch oven.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Allow the soup to cool before portioning into freezer-safe containers for storage.
